Question:

Can I apply for a PhD position with SENSE?

Answer:

Not directly. The SENSE Research School is a partnership of 11 Dutch universities and institutes. You have to apply with one of them to become a SENSE PhD candidate: if your PhD supervisor (promotor) is a professor at one of the SENSE partner institutes, then (on this basis) you will be admitted as a SENSE PhD candidate.

I had a TSP on the former SENSE website, but I cannot login anymore. What should I do?

Answer:

In June 2014 SENSE migrated to a new web platform, the general SENSE website and this secured environment: myportal.sense.nl.The login and password of the former platform cannot be used here!

If you did not make a backup of your TSP on the former website, please mail to info@sense.nl to retrieve a copy of your TSP in pdf.

If you want to apply for your SENSE diploma based on your TSP on the former website, please mail to info@sense.nl for a SENSE Diploma application form.

If you want to update your TSP based on your TSP on the former website, please create a new account here, subscribe to My PhD Roadmap and download the new TSP form in fillable pdf format from the TSP module.

If your TSP was not approved yet, you can submit it for approval.

If it was already approved, you can store it locally and adjust it whenever you want, and/or upload it in the TSP module.

To save you time, the new TSP form is also your SENSE Diploma application form: at the end of your PhD you only have to add information concerning your graduation and send it to us.

N.B.: If you had an approved TSP on the former SENSE website, you need not make a new one in the PhD Roadmap, unless you want so yourself. Instead you can send a mail to info@sense.nl to obtain an "old style" SENSE diploma application form.

Question:

How do I find more PhD courses?

Answer:

The general SENSE website functions among other things as a portal to find relevant PhD Courses.

The SENSE school offers a reduced fee for SENSE PhD candidates with and approved TSP (Training and Supervision Plan).

When you do not yet have an approved TSP, may follow SENSE PhD courses for a reduced course fee, when you are within the first six months after the start of your PhD you. After six months, you will need to pay the full course fee.
